How to keep, etc.

Hi Berly, and welcome to the Wine Board. First of all Rossi Burgundy is not Burgundy. It is one of the last vestiges of generic American wines with stolen European region names. Burgundy is from France and in the red version is made from from pinot noir. It is usually very expensive as it is a small region with high demand for their wines.

Your Rossi Burgundy is made from California field grapes, and does not have a drop of pinot noir in it. If you want to move up from what you are drinking now get a inexpensive red zinfandel such as Sutter Home or Talus.

If you have a large bottle of your Rossi, keep it closed and in the fridge for up to a week. If you, in the future, buy wine in regular 750 ml bottles, try not to keep leftovers for more than a day or two.
